The good old Panasonic DVD player just wasn’t getting a work out and with PC’s making there way into the family room I decided it was about time I put the PC into a nicer wife friendly case, I say wife friendly because I have several PC’s that I would call nice PC’s with all the fruit, UV lights neon’s etc.. this one.. well its what you would expect to see in a family room. What’s inside it however isn’t what you would expect.
The AMD Duron 1100Mhz gave me some problems with heat however 2x 80mm Thermal take silent fans inside the chopped apart PSU helped that, what you can not see in the pictures is the 80mm fan now sitting on the CPU to make this one ultra quiet Media Centre
The DVD Players ON/OFF switch was used and factory LEDs have been used to show HDD activity and Power status.

1100Mhz AMD Duron
256MB SD RAM
40GB 7200rpm HDD
